Incidentally I enabled this yesterday because I was grtting tired of “Congraulation! You won an Amazon gift card!”. I feel the loading speed has improved since. I am not sure how effective Focus will be against popups but let’s see...

1. Search “Safari” on the phone under “Settings”

2. Find “Content Blockers”

4. Choose “Focus”

If you don’t see “Focus” in the list, or if you want to configure “Focus”, open the “Focus” app, and click on the settings icon (top right corner).

Note if the site you are trying to read is broken (see 1 as an example, ironically), just open up Safari settings as instructed above, undo Focus, then reload the page. When you are done, just slide back on. This is unfortunate though.

If you long-press the refresh button in mobile safari, you will get the option to reload the current page without content blockers.
Thank you! I am glad I know this trick now! I cited your comment in my other comment. This trick is so thoughtful from Apple - I have to mention this.
